Introduction
The Connected Security Distributed Services (CSDS) Architecture delivers a scalable, distributed security architecture design that fully decouples the forwarding and security services layers. The architecture enables the existing MX Series routers serve as intelligent forwarding engine supporting load balancing with path redundancy along with the SRX Series Firewalls expanding your data centers securely.
The CSDS Architecture consists of:
MX Series in the forwarding layer.
SRX Series Firewalls in the services layer.
QFX Series or any other switches in the optional distribution layer.
You can use Junos Node Unifier (JNU) for centralized management of devices in the forwarding and services layers within the CSDS solution.
You can use Junos Device Manager (JDM) to orchestrate the deployment of vSRX Virtual Firewalls.
To provide deployment flexibility, the CSDS solution supports various components and platforms at the forwarding layer, services layer, and management layer.
